One of my new turkey poults recently started closing one of it's eyes. When I first got the bird both of it's eyes were there and working so it's just recent(The turkeys are a couple days old.)

I have included some photos below of what both eyes currently look like.

Have you seen any eye pecking? I put some blue colored glass stones around in my brooder to draw their eye and pecking. Turkeys will peck at shiny things including eyes sometimes. Just a thought.
 
Curious how to cure or prevent one eye closed on turkey poults. It must be a condition, 3 of mine have it from the same hatch. All 3 had both eyes open at hatch. They are now a week old.
Thank you.
